Walter Funk

Middle School Principal

I joined the faculty at Huntington Christian School in 2002. My first several years were spent in the classroom teaching Math and Physical Science, where I enjoyed helping students navigate these topics. Since then, I have transitioned into Administration, first as a department head and in 2016 moved to the Middle School Principal role. I love being a part of the HCS administrative team. My favorite part is developing programs that challenge and grow our students both academically and spiritually.

HCS is a significant part of my family’s history. My wife, Kristen, and I have three adult children, all of whom are HCS graduates. Having experienced the school as both an educator and a parent, I am deeply committed to the community and the long-term success of our students.

A Note from Walter:

"Teaching at Huntington Christian School is a unique privilege. It is a community where teachers, parents, and students collaborate to build a genuine love for learning. I value that we provide students with the tools needed to investigate their passions. My goal is to foster an environment where they can pursue academic excellence while simultaneously growing in their relationship with Christ.

I love being part of this community that is genuinely committed to the heart of every student."
